With rising global cyber threats, Kenya, one of Africa's Tier 1 cybersecurity countries (ITU classification), has recorded 2.76 billion cyber threats in the first nine months of 2024.
After a dramatic spike in Q4 2023 (+943%), cyber threats have dropped by 49% in Q3 2024 but remained significantly higher than five quarters ago. Threats rose again in Q2 (+17%) and then dropped in Q3 (-42%).
This surge in attacks led to a recent major breach, where a government agency’s data was sold on the dark web, highlighting the urgent need for stronger security measures.
